Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of producing printed circuit cards in the form of multilayer prints.
- Printed circuit cards are known already in various embodiments.
- the type of printcard closest related to the present invention is comprised of a thin sheet of insulating material, e.g. laminated fiberglass sheet, provided on both sides with a pattern of conductor paths connecting the individual components of the subject circuit, such as resistors, capacitors, coils and transistors or tubes, both with respect to one another and to a power network and a zero potential or frame.
- a commonly employed method of establishing the wiring pattern is known as the photoresist method which is so wellknown that it need not be further discussed. This also applies to the serigraphic method.
- the most essential feature of this photoresist method is laying out the wiring pattern on a thin transparent film forming the negative of the said photomechanical method.
- the planning of the wiring pattern is done on a sheet of transparent paper laid over a graph sheet or modular sheet, being usually based on a diagram of the subject circuit, which diagram uses the common standardized component symbols.
- Such a circuit e.g. for an amplifier, is often complicated so as to render the print layout or rather the planning of the wiring pattern a cumbersome job which frequently has to be done over again many times before the result is usuable.
- the difficulties are caused by the fact that no conductor paths may intersect since the wiring pattern is laid out in one plane or, if necessary, in two planes on both sides of the insulating sheet.
- FIG. 1 shows three different films or part prints
- FIG. 2 shows the three transparent films or part prints in superimposed relationship
- FIG. 3 an example of mounting a pair of discrete components on the circuit card composed of the three part prints
- FIG. 4 an example of providing a shielded conductor when using the method of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates three different part prints the way they appear when laying out a specific circuit. Their appearance may be varied some dependent on how the individual circuit components are positioned in relation to each other, as in that respect one has a rather wide margin.
- the figures illustrated may be viewed as a representation of the negative films used for developing the wiring patterns on the various metal coatings in conjunction with the initially discussed photoresist and serigraphic method, although other known methods may be used too, and also as a representation of the finished part prints.
- Numeral 1 generally signifies a component print used to establish electrically conductive connection between the respective circuit components
- numeral 2 is generally a power supply print used to establish electrically conductive connection between a number of components, both active components and passive components, and one pole of a power source respectively a number of components and common frame point or common zero potential level
- numeral 3 is generally a connecting print used to establish electrically conductive connection between the circuit components placed on the print and outer components such as regulating resistors and potentiometers respectively switches, provided these could not be conveniently ac-' comodated on the subject component print.
- the power supply print 2 shows a typical connection to the positive or negative pole or poles 6 of the power source or sources and a typical common frame point 7. It also appears from the figure that the component print l and the power supply 2 have less width than the connecting print 3 such that when these three part prints are superimposed there is left space for connecting an edge connector along one edge of the connecting print to which electrically conductive edge connections 8 have been extended.
- the most advantageous sequence of arranging the part prints is when the component print 1 is at the top, while the power supply print 2 and the connecting print 3 may change places as desired.
- the aforesaid provision of a tongue to which an edge connector can be connected is necessary only if the part prints have been made on the basis of thick metal foil coated insulating sheets with a thickness of approx.
- the maximum spanning capacity of an edge connector being sheets with a thickness of from 1.5 to 1.65 mm.
- the maximum spanning capacity of an edge connector being sheets with a thickness of from 1.5 to 1.65 mm.
- there are commercially available metal foil coated insulating sheets with a thickness of 0.5 mm such that all the sheets may be given identical outside measures. This will facilitate standardization of the part prints with respect to their outside measures.
- the electrical connections between the part sheets are effected by the circuit components included in the respective circuit, as shown in FIG. 3.
- the component print 1 is at the top, with depending conductor paths, followed by the power supply print 2, also with depending conductor paths, and finally, the connecting print 3 which is oriented in the same manner as in the case of the preceding two prints.
- a transistor 9 is shown in the figure and whose three electrodes are soldered onto respective part prints and a resistor 10 whose terminals are soldered onto the two lower part prints.
- the figure shows the principle of the physical mounting on the composite printcard.
- the transparent films are obtained as follows.
- a sheet of graph paper or modular paper is stretched on a drawing board, and thereon the required number of layers, three in the case of the example described, of transparent film material and a sheet of transparent drawing paper.
- a drawing board it is possible in lieu of a drawing board to use also a so-called light box, in which case the graph or modular paper should preferably be transparent.
- the said layers are conveniently fixed with respect to each other by means of drawing pins or like attachment means along one edge thereof so as to leave access to the underlying layers.
- Based on an existing circuit diagram and the knowledge of the physical dimensions of the individual components there is now drawn on the transparent sheet of drawing paper the respective positions of the individual components, taking into due consideration the space available.
- the films are provided with registering marks capable of forming the corners of a triangle. The larger the triangle, the better the control of the sheets. After completing the etching operation of the sheets, these are pierced at the aforesaid three corner points to enable the sheets, guided by three pins, to be clamped together in proper relation to each other.
- the soldering of the components onto the part prints may advantageously be effected by means of immersion soldering, the part prints being so tightly clamped together as to prevent tin solder from flowing in between, allowing it to adhere only to the points where there is already an exposed eyelet of copper.
- immersion soldering other known soldering methods could be used.
- circuit card should have good HF characteristics
- narrow conductor paths it is possible, of course, in lieu of narrow conductor paths to provide large copper areas of the same potential, whereby said large continuous copper areas are separated from each other only by narrow non-metallic strips, to thereby obtain effective screening between the individual layers forming the circuit card. This will not alter the principles of the method according to the invention.
- shielded (or screened) conductors are utilized to establish critical connections. Such a shielded conductor may be provided'in a simple manner when using the method of the present invention. This is illustrated inFIG. 4.
- the same three part prints are shown as in FIG. 3, where the upper part print, however, is made of an insulating sheet covered by metal foils on both sides.
- the so-called hot" conductor which is to be shielded, is designated by reference numeral 12, while the insulated conductor paths relative to the said hot conductor or greater conductive areas, which may be situated both above and beneath as well as on both sides of the hot conductor 12, are in common designated by reference numeral 13, and shown connected to the frame or another appropriate zero potential.
- a method of forming a printed circuit in the form of a multilayer board on the basis of an existing schematic diagram of an electrical circuit, the layout of the wiring patterns of the individual layers of the multilayer boards comprising the steps of disposing over a light table in the following order, a precision grid, three transparent sheets and a sheet of tracing paper, one transparent sheet serving as a master for a component layer of the multilayer board, the second serving as a master for a power supply layer of the multilayer board, and the third serving as a master for an interconnections layer of the multilayer board; mutually fixing said sheets so that each one is easily accessible; positioning on appropriate ones of the transparent sheets solder pads for the terminals of the individual components forming the circuit, markings of passage holes, and interconnecting conductor paths in accordance with said schematic diagram, starting at an input end of the diagram and working step by step throughout the diagram, considering simultaneously said three layers of the multilayer board; concurrently drawing the component images on the tracing paper at positions corresponding to the positions of the associated solder pads on the transparent
